		<li><font size="2" face="Verdana">A &#8220;MED&#8221; notation cannot be assigned in a course with an &#8220;R&#8221; or &#8220;NR&#8221; grade.<br />&nbsp;</font></li>
		<li><font size="2" face="Verdana">Application forms for &#8220;MED&#8221; notations 
		are available from the 
		<a target="_blank" href="http://registrar.concordia.ca/SSC/">Birks 
		Student Service Centre</a> or in
		<a target="_blank" href="http://registrar.concordia.ca/exam/pdf/form5.pdf">PDF format</a>.<br />&nbsp;</font></li>
		<li><font size="2" face="Verdana">A completed application must be submitted to the Birks Student Service Centre, not to the Instructor, Department, Faculty or School by the following deadlines:<br />
		<br /><b>January 15</b> for Fall courses (/2)<br /><b>May 15</b> for 
		Fall/Winter courses (/3 and /4)<br />
		<b>August 31</b> for Summer courses (/1)<br />&nbsp;</font></li>
		<li>The application must be accompanied by a medical certificate on a physician&#8217;s original letterhead indicating that a long-term medical situation prohibited the student from being able to complete the final examination on the day or days in question.<br />
&nbsp;</li>
		<li>The application for a &#8220;MED&#8221; notation must be accompanied by a $25.00 per course processing fee.<br />
&nbsp;</li>
		<li>The Examinations Office is entitled to ask the student to provide additional medical information. In such cases the student will be supplied with a form to be completed by his or her physician.<br />
&nbsp;</li>
		<li>When the Examinations Office approves the awarding of a &#8220;MED&#8221; notation, this notation will replace the student&#8217;s original grade for the course of courses concerned.<br />
&nbsp;</li>
		<li>When the replacement examination or missing work has been completed and evaluated, a new grade will replace the &#8220;MED&#8221; notation. If the student does not write a replacement examination or complete the missing work, the &#8220;MED&#8221; notation will appear permanently on his or her record and transcript (e.g. &#8220;MED/DNW&#8221; or &#8220;MED/INC&#8221;). &#8220;MED&#8221; notations carry no grade point value. Courses with &#8220;MED&#8221; notations are not included in assessments of academic standing.<br />
&nbsp;</li>
		<li>When a student repeatedly submits medical certificates, the University reserves the right to refer him or her to a physician appointed by the University for a recommendation.

			<li><font face="Verdana">A student who did not write a final examination and has been granted a &#8220;MED&#8221; notation is permitted to write a replacement examination.<br />
&nbsp;</font></li>
			<li><font face="Verdana">A replacement examination counts for the same weight in the course evaluation scheme and covers the same course material as the original examination.<br />
&nbsp;</font></li>
			<li><font face="Verdana">When a student does not write a replacement examination, no further examination, replacement or supplemental, will be scheduled.  However, a student who is prevented from writing the replacement examination due to extraordinary circumstances will be able to apply to the University Examinations Committee.<br />
&nbsp;</font></li>
			<li><font face="Verdana">The University Examinations Committee is comprised of one faculty member from each Faculty, a student representative from the Office of the Provost, and a representative from the Office of the Registrar.  The committee&#8217;s decisions are final.<br />

			<li><font face="Verdana">When a replacement examination is not written, the &#8220;MED&#8221; notation (e.g. &#8220;MED/DNW&#8221;) will appear permanently on the student record and transcript.<br />
&nbsp;</font></li>
			<li><font face="Verdana">When a replacement examination has been written and evaluated, the mark is added to the student&#8217;s marks for other course work. The resulting final grade will replace the &#8220;MED&#8221; notation on the student&#8217;s academic record and transcript.<br />
&nbsp;</font></li>
